Who’s Willing To Bet On A Conflict With China Before November?

Why is the US National Institute of Health still funding the Wuhan Institute of Virology? Would a Western intervention be justified if the Solomon Islands start becoming a Chinese military base? Did Sri Lanka build China a de facto military base? What would the economic costs be to Taiwan and Mainland China if sanctions increase or if a war breaks out? How does the US and China compare with regards to population decline? Is a great decoupling of the US and Chinese economies underway? Is Chinese national debt spiraling out of control?
